This one is seriously way of the scale..... on the positive side! What about "seriously terrible frostbite cooler than liquid nitrogen subzero"? 8)

Cool for me
W/O this car, there might never have been a CGT.

Definitely Sub-Zero.

EDIT: Who the hell put "Uncool"?!?!

The basic Porsche shape doesn't excite me as much as other performance cars, but you cannot deny it's pedigree. The 2.7RS is undoubtedly one of the most bad-ass cars around, still. My friend's ex-boss used to have one which was restored. Even though it wasn't even the OEM paint color, it still sold for $150,000US.

The car is definately subzero/shrink yer nutsack/pull you family jewels into your abdomen cool. I suppose if you're a chick, it's subzero/make your nipples poke way out and hurt cool...

Read my mind. Carrera GT is the only sub zero. This can barely make it to the COOL IMO.

Subzero!!! I shouldn't say this since it's a Porsche but I'll open an exception.

I saw one of this, some weeks ago, doing some donuts and I thought it was just a replica cause the sound was nothing special. :roll: And there was another 911 with less just a few years and it the sound was great !! Anyway, the specialists say this car is fantastic and I love to see pics of it doing laps around the Ring

worse than uncool, in my opinion. i'm no fan of current 911's, but these older ones really make me ill to look at, and from all the stories it's probably a death trap to drive
Hard to look cool when you die because of a car with a hideous wale-tail spoiler
